Some people say that Luoyang people are a little proud of history, and the Luoyang people of that year really have a little. But the main reason is not because of ancient history, but because of the splendor of modern history. The ten major factories and mines and many enterprises and institutes settled in Luoyang, making Luoyang an extremely powerful city of heavy industry, and it is also one of the top cities in the north. Heavy industrial enterprises had very generous salaries that year, and their incomes were higher than those in cities such as Zhengzhou, which were dominated by light industry and commerce. Even compared with cities such as Suzhou and Hangzhou, which are mainly light industry, luoyang people can earn more than them.
Nearly half of Luoyang's foreign population is full of technical and management talents. The collision of diversified cultures has made Luoyang, although it is in the mainland, its vision and concepts are not closed and conservative. Guangzhou Market was built with the assistance of Cantonese people, so Guangzhou Market became the food gathering place of Luoyang in that year. Shanghai market Shanghai people to build, Shanghai market has become the most fashionable, popular clothing market in Luoyang. Luoyang was also able to produce big stars like Luo Drift team and Cheng Lin to suck the attention of the whole country. Although Luoyang was a planned economy at that time, it was also similar to today's southern cities, and the large number of foreign populations made Luoyang a city full of vitality.

Today, these enterprises are no longer brilliant, and the families of both foreign and local workers have been integrated into Luoyang, but some children of old Luoyang people are reluctant to return to Luoyang to live and work. Not only did it not attract foreign enterprises, but some of the original institutes also left their hometowns.
Today, I have occasionally checked which joint ventures and foreign-funded enterprises in Luoyang are all Hong Kong-funded cooperative power plants and almost no decent foreign-funded enterprises in the true sense. In recent years, the imported enterprises have been anxious to publicize the introduction of foreign capital, tens of billions of enterprises, etc. every year, and now look at the silver dragon this decent point, almost no decent. When it was first reopened, we had the Hong Kong-funded Peony Hotel in Luoyang, and decades later, it was still like this. It's as if time has stood still for decades!
Now look at Luoyang and then look around, lian Xiangyang was not much better than the county in the eyes of Luoyang people, and there were large enterprises introduced one after another, and the GDP directly chased Luoyang. As a Luoyang that has developed due to the introduction of enterprises, there have been few decent enterprises introduced in decades.
The glory of Luoyang at that time was to introduce a large number of enterprises, personnel, and multiculturalism to wash and collide with the conservative Central Plains culture, so that it had a vibrant and unique urban culture of that year. Today, we Luoyang people are cramped in our own cities, not only rarely attract elites from all over the world, but some of our children are reluctant to return to this city to develop, low wages, and lack of high-level jobs. It has become a stubborn disease of the city.
Luoyang is also a city with great characteristics, when large enterprises were subordinate to the ministry and local management is two lines, local management is still local, many are county and township. Therefore, old Luoyang knows a saying, "In N years, we must turn Luoyang into a county."
As a non-provincial capital city, factors such as blood sucking in Zhengzhou do exist, but they are not an excuse for Luoyang's inability to develop. The Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta have developed well in so many non-provincial capital cities, and the most important thing is that they do not work hard.
Luoyang's infrastructure construction has been good in recent years, the subway has also been opened, and due to its long history and culture, Luoyang also has a certain popularity in the country. Luoyang's old foundation is still there, the quality of citizens is good, and there are many scientific research institutes, skilled workers, and hardware in the country. What we in Luoyang urgently need to improve is software, urban management standards, rule of law environment, we must change the conservative, narrow-minded county and township management, not only to learn zhengzhou, but also to higher standards of benchmark Hong Kong management.
Luoyang has missed a lot of opportunities, such good conditions, if such a muddy nightmare, a vibrant, open Luoyang sink into a central and western ordinary closed pension city, it is a pity.
